Brad Barr
Over a career that spans three decades, Brad Barr has cultivated a uniquely visceral,
bravely intimate approach to the guitar. Best known for his central role in renowned
Montreal group The Barr Brothers, Brad has distinguished himself as a multifaceted
guitarist, composer, singer, producer and improviser. Born in Providence,
Rhode Island, he and his brother(drummer Andrew Barr) moved to
Montreal in 2005 having always worked side-by-side in a kinetic pursuit of personal
and collective self-discovery. Beginning in Boston in the mid-90’s, the brothers
made up 2/3 of improv-rock trio The Slip, touring relentlessly and developing a cult
following in Japan. Arriving in Montreal, they formed The Barr Brothers with
experimental harpist Sarah Pagé, running the harp through fuzz pedals and
inadvertently creating the genre “harp rock”. Each of the band’s three albums has
been nominated for a Juno award, and they have shared the bill with such artists as
My Morning Jacket, Calexico, Bela Fleck, The War on Drugs, Tinariwen, Built to Spill,
The Prodigy, Emmylou Harris, and others. As a soloist, Brad has released two highly
acclaimed albums of instrumental guitar. The Winter Mission, (his latest, released
this year on Secret City Records) has been described as “…an album of riches that
needs to be given plenty of listens and plenty of time. It will certainly reward you.”
